Samples of Australia’s pre-decimal currency.
The larger coins on the right are officially
known as ‘florins” which is Two Shillings.
Colloquially they were knowns as Two Bob.
Smaller coins on the left are One ‘shilling’ coins.
Known as ‘a bob‘ or a ‘deena’ (not sure of spelling).
I don’t know why.
In total those four coins equal 6 shillings

Manly Beach
Father after receiving his wig for his
74th birthday about ten years ago.
That year he had been treated for breast and
at least one other type of cancer…maybe two.
He celebrated his 86th birthday in mid-October.

Comfortable
It appears that young Maggie did not care about comfort
the day she licked up discarded cooking wine.
MGW thought Maggie was ill…until
she smelled Maggie’s breath. 🙂
Growing
About ten days after autumn rain
grass seeds begin to pop through
seeking warm sunshine.
Tangled
Perhaps the rope is not as tangled
as it could be…
..so I added some rectangles of
which there are plenty.
Crowded
I was wishing some of the tourists had stayed away
the day we visited Rome’s
Trevi Fountain.
